I think @TiaG’s present picture essay is truly seminal in many ways, and will inspire me (and many other parents, I think) for many weeks to come.

I started writing a series of replies, that are mostly not replies but rather thoughts that this essay inpired, but figured that some of them might best be set in a separate thread. My first thoughts inspired by @TiaG’s essay are laid out in [this thread: diabetes kaizen](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/diabetes-kaizen/655).
